DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The exemplary embodiments described below do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment provides a data distribution system. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data distribution system according to an exemplary embodiment. The data distribution system can be a distributed system deployed in a cloud. The distributed data distribution system can be a system formed by a group of computers interconnecting through a network to send messages and communications and coordinate their actions. Different computers can interact with each other to achieve a common goal. The network can be an Internet of Things based on the Internet and/or telecommunication network, which can be a wired network or a wireless network, for example, which can be an electronic network capable of implementing information exchange functions, such as a local area network (LAN), a metropolitan area network (MAN), a wide area network (WAN), and a cellular data communication network.

The distributed computing system can have software plug-ins, such as software objects or other types of individually addressable isolated entities, such as distributed objects, agents, actors, virtual plug-ins, and the like. Generally, each such plug-in is individually addressable and has a unique identity (such as an integer, a GUID, a string or an opaque data structure, etc.) in a distributed system. In a distributed system that allows geographical distribution, an application can be resident in a cluster by deployment. There are various systems, plug-ins and network configurations that support distributed computing environments. For example, the computing systems can be connected together through a wired or wireless system, through a local network or a widely distributed network. At present, many networks are coupled to the Internet, which provides an infrastructure for widely distributed computing and includes many different networks, although any network infrastructure can be used for communications that may easily occur to the system, for example, as described in various examples.

The data distribution system provides the sharing of computer resources and services through the communication exchange between computing devices and systems. These resources and services include information exchange for an object (such as a file), a high speed cache storage apparatus and a disk storage apparatus. These resources and services also include the sharing of processing capabilities across a plurality of processing units for load balancing, resource expansion, specialization of processing, etc. For example, the distributed data distribution system can include a device with client/a server, a network topology of peer-to-peer or hybrid architectures and a host of the network infrastructure.

The various techniques described in the present disclosure can be implemented in conjunction with hardware or software, or where appropriate, by a combination of both. The terms “plug-in”, “module”, “system”, “platform” and the like, as used in the present disclosure, are likewise intended to refer to a computer-related entity, which is hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software or software in execution.

Referring to FIG. 1, a data distribution system includes a channel configuration module Zbridge and a data engine module Zdata.

The channel configuration module Zbridge is connected with an external device and is configured to convert obtained device data of each external device into preset product model data and store the preset product model data in a message queue.

The data engine module Zdata is connected with the channel configuration module Zbridge, and is configured to distribute the preset product model data obtained from the message queue.

In this embodiment, the channel configuration module Zbridge is connected with the external device, and can obtain the device data reported by the external device. The data distribution system or the channel configuration module can store a preset data protocol, such as a message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT), an HTTP protocol, an XMPP protocol or a CoAP protocol. Taking the MQTT protocol as an example, the channel configuration module Zbridge can obtain the MQTT protocol and determine whether the device data satisfies the MQTT protocol. If the device satisfies the MQTT protocol, the channel configuration module Zbridge can store the device data to MQTT Broker (i.e., a first message queue). If the device data does not satisfy the data protocol, the device data is performed protocol conversion through SDK and stored in the first message queue.

It should be noted that, the external device in the embodiment can include a device that needs to be externally connected to the system, such as a third-party device, a directly connected device, an edge gateway, etc. Accordingly, the device data reported by the external device can include image information collected by a camera, ambient data collected by a temperature and humidity sensor, production data of a production device, etc. It can be understood that the above-mentioned external device can be set according to specific scenarios, and the device data can be adjusted according to the external device, and the corresponding solution falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In this embodiment, the channel configuration module Zbridge has pre-stored routing configuration information, and the routing configuration information can include a topic path which specifies reading the device data from the first message queue, product model definition and data analysis.

In this embodiment, the channel configuration module Zbridge can monitor MQTT data in the first message queue. When the MQTT data exists in the first message queue, the MQTT data is read and converted into the preset product model data, and stored in a second message queue. The second message queue can be one of Message Queue, RabbitMQ, Redis, ZeroMQ, ActiveMQ, and Kafka/Jafka. In the following embodiments, the second message queue is implemented by Kafka.

In this embodiment, the routing configuration information can include preset product model, which includes three types of device data, i.e., a state parameter, a function parameter and a trigger parameter. The data format representing the same kind of products can be formed by setting the data type and data length of the parameters.

The state parameter is used to describe the state when the device is running, such as the current ambient temperature read by an ambient monitoring device. The state parameter can support GET and SET request manners, and the application system can set request for reading the state parameter. The function parameter refers to the ability or method that the device can be called externally, and can include an input parameter and an output parameter. Compared with the state parameter, the function parameter can implement more complex service logic through one piece of instruction, such as executing a specific task. The trigger parameter refers to an event when the device is running, which generally includes the notification information that needs to be perceived and processed by the outside, and can include a plurality of output parameters. For example, the information about the completion of a task, or the temperature of device failure or alarm, etc., can be subscribed and pushed. In other words, in this example, what the device is, what the device can do and which information the device can provide to the outside are described respectively from three functional dimensions: a state parameter, a function parameter and a trigger parameter, that is, the device data is defined.

In this example, the channel configuration module Zbridge provides a platform for multi-source heterogeneous devices to convert product models. And the device data is divided into the state parameter, the function parameter and the trigger parameter. In this way, the device data of each external device is converted into the preset product model, which has the following advantages.

First, the same or different types of products provided by different manufacturers can be unified into the same kind of products, so as to achieve the effect of product unification. In other words, no matter which manufacturer provides products, the products can be added to the system and can correspond to a corresponding classification, so as to enhance the applicable scope of the system. For example, access control device defines state parameters of the product model, such as guardID, cardID, direction, etc., and relevant state parameters in corresponding device data are respectively represented as data.door, data.person, data.direction. The mapping of corresponding state parameters is realized through the configuration information (JS, jar), thus achieving the analysis of the product model.

Secondly, the system converts all device data into the preset product model data, which can facilitate the system to process the preset product model data, for example, using a big data algorithm to process the above-mentioned data, mining out data value or providing more valuable services to users. For details, please refer to the subsequent embodiments.

Third, for various parts of the system, the preset product model data can be directly used without re-conversion, thus improving the data utilization efficiency. In addition, the user can achieve the data analysis of the product model according to the simple configuration information, which avoids writing the data analysis codes respectively for various devices and improves the data analysis efficiency.

In this embodiment, the data engine module Zdata is connected with the channel configuration module Zbridge, and can monitor the preset product model data in the second message queue. As a core of the data distribution system, the data engine module Zdata can also be connected with the data processing module Zalgorithm, the rule engine module ZMessage, the external interface module ZOpen and the database, and can arbitrarily control processing manner of the data (real-time algorithm processing, offline algorithm processing, filtering processing), selection of the data channel and result processing of the data (stored in the database, determined by the rule engine, pushed to the external service system, directly output to the user, etc.), so as to achieve the analysis, distribution and storage of the preset product model data.

In an example, the data engine module Zdata is further provided with a filter script, such as a JS script or a JAR package, and the filter script is uploaded or written by the user through the system configuration page. After the preset product model is analyzed by the data engine module Zdata and before it is distributed, the analyzed data can be filtered according to the subscription demands of users, so as to better meet the user's demands. For example, a user A wants to obtain three types of data in the preset product model, and a user B wants to perform calculation according to five types of data in the preset product model, and three corresponding types or five corresponding types of data in the preset product model can be filtered out in advance through the filter script, thereby better meeting the personalized subscription demands of the user A or the user B.

In an example, the data distribution system further includes a preset database and an external interface module ZOpen. The preset database can include but not limited to a MySQL database, a TiDB database, a FoundationDB database, etc. In this example, the preset database is implemented by the TiDB database. The TiDB database can extend horizontally seamlessly as data in the system grows; only more machines need to be added to meet the demands for the service growth, and the application layer may not concern the storage capacity and throughput. Moreover, the TiDB database can dynamically adjust load balance according to storage, network, distance and other factors, so as to ensure better reading and writing performance, thus meeting the demands of the data distribution system and improving the scalability, reliability and stability of the system.

In this embodiment, the data engine module Zdata stores the preset product model data when monitoring the preset product model data in a Kafka queue. The data stored in the TiDB database can also include the result data pushed by the data processing module Zalgorithm, and also include the process data in the first message queue or the second message queue, which is convenient for external systems to query data. In this way, the service system reads the preset product model data through the external interface module ZOpen of the data distribution system, so as to achieve standard query of data.

In an example, the data distribution system further includes a data processing module Zalgorithm connected with the data engine module Zdata. The data processing module Zalgorithm can be a big data platform Hadoop. The users only need to write corresponding algorithms and upload the algorithms to the data processing module Zalgorithm, which can support offline or real-time data processing and calculation. The data engine module Zdata can pre-store initial configuration data, the initial configuration data can be pre-configured by the users and can include configuration information such as whether a data processing algorithm needs to be used and which algorithm is used when using a data processing algorithm. The data processing algorithm includes an offline algorithm or a real-time algorithm. After the preset product model data is obtained from the Kafka queue, the initial configuration data can be read to determine whether to trigger the data processing module Zalgorithm. After determining to trigger the data processing module Zalgorithm, the data processing module Zalgorithm can process the preset product model data using the offline algorithm or the real-time algorithm, and feedback the processing results to the users and store the processing results locally. That is to say, the data processing module Zalgorithm can also be used as a database to store the preset product model data, the process data and the result data. In an example, the offline algorithm can be implemented by SparkSQL, and the processing results can be stored in Hive. The real-time algorithm can be implemented by SaprkStreaming, and the processing results can be pushed in real time through the message queue.

The offline algorithm can include but not limited to SparkSQL, Hive on Spark, Core, Streaming, MLlib, GraphX, etc., and the real-time algorithm can include but not limited to Flink. Storm. Spark Streaming, etc. It can be understood that the offline algorithm and the real-time algorithm are only used to distinguish the usage scenarios of the algorithms. For example, in a case that the real-time demand is not high, the real-time algorithm can also be implemented by using one of the above-mentioned offline algorithms. For another example, the offline algorithm can also be implemented by using the real-time algorithms. A skilled person can select an appropriate offline algorithm or real-time algorithm according to a specific scenario. Of course, in some scenarios, a big data algorithm can also be selected as the above-mentioned offline algorithm or real-time algorithm. For example, if the device data is an image, the big data algorithm can be implemented by using an algorithm such as a neural network algorithm, the image is processed by the neural network algorithm and the image semantics are obtained.

In an embodiment, the data distribution system further includes a rule engine module ZMessage. The rule engine module ZMessage can store one or more preset rules, such as the ambient temperature does not exceed 50° C., the ambient humidity does not exceed 70%, etc. The corresponding rules can be selected and configured according to specific scenarios, and the corresponding solution falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In this example, the rule engine module ZMessage is connected with the data engine module Zdata. The data engine module Zdata generates a control instruction when the preset product model data needs to trigger the rule engine and sends the control instruction to the rule engine module ZMessage, or the data engine module Zdata sends the preset product model data to the key-value storage system Redis, such that the Redis can determine whether the preset product model data needs to trigger the rule engine. The Rule engine module ZMessage is configured to determine whether a node corresponding to the preset product model data needs to be triggered in response to the control instruction; if the trigger is needed, send a preset type of trigger information such as the control instruction and alarm information to the node; and if the trigger is not needed, send the preset product model data to the external device. Before sending the trigger information or the preset product model data to the to-be-triggered node, the type of the node such as mail, calling remote interface, short message, etc. can be obtained first, and then the sending manner or format of the information or data can be adjusted according to the type. In actual application, the triggered node may not support satisfying the MQTT protocol, in which case the information or data can be analyzed by ZEdgeSDK and then sent to the triggered node.

The data distribution system in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the channel configuration module Zbridge and the data engine module Zdata. The channel configuration module Zbridge is connected with the external devices and is configured to convert the obtained device data of each external device into the preset product model data and store the preset product model data in the message queue. The data engine module Zdata is connected with the channel configuration module Zbridge and is configured to distribute the preset product model data obtained from the message queue. In this way, in the embodiment, the data distribution can be achieved by uniformly analyzing the device data, so that the users of the data distribution system can directly use the above-mentioned device data, which is beneficial to improving the stability, compatibility and portability of the system.

The above-mentioned data distribution system is described below in combination with the scenarios shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, including the following.

1) Obtaining data generated by an asset, where the asset refers to external devices that need to be externally connected, and these external devices can adopt external data and report the external data.

2) Transmitting the device data based on the MQTT protocol: determining whether the device data supports the MQTT protocol, if not, performing protocol conversion on the device data through SDK, and if yes, transmitting the device data to MQTT-BROKER based on the MQTT protocol, where the MQTT-BROKER is a message queue, which is used for the transfer and transmission of the device data.

3) The ZBridge analyzes the device data into the preset product model data. The ZBridge monitors the data of the MQTT-BROKER, grabs the data when the MQTT-BROKER has data, converts the date into the preset product model data, and then distributes the preset product model data to the Kafka queue. The relationship between the ZBridge and the following routing configuration is that: the ZBridge reads the configuration information of the routing configuration, and then grabs corresponding device data from the MQTT-BROKER and converts it into the product model data.

It should be noted that transmitting the device data based on the MQTT protocol in 2) can also be implemented by the ZBridge.

In actual application, the initial configuration information in the ZBridge can include a JS script, ajar package, a python script or a PHP script, etc. For example, the ZBridge can achieve the product model conversion based on the JS script or the jar package written by the users. In an example, the ZBridge can analyze the JB script based on JS parsing engine or analyze the jar package based on pf4j plug-in, so as to perform product model processing on the data.

4) The ZData monitors the product model data in the Kafka and makes determination in the data engine, and performs the following three operations.

4.1) Storing the product model data in the TiDB database. For example, the product model data can be filtered and processed using the filter script, and the data can also be processed using the big data/artificial intelligence algorithm. The processed result data and process data can be directly stored in the database for future use. The service system can read the data from the TiDB database through the external interface module ZOpen, and can also perform standard query.

Of course, the external interface module ZOpen can also send the data read from the TiDB database as downlink data to the ZMessage, such that the ZMessage can directly send the data to the ZEdge SDK or the device or determine whether an action node needs to be triggered. If the rule node needs to be triggered, the mail can be sent, the remote interface can be called and the short message can be sent according to the type of the action node, or the trigger parameter of asset type can be triggered (i.e., sent directly to the ZEdge SDK or the device).

4.2) The ZData determines whether to use a preset processing algorithm to preset product model data according to the initial setting information. If yes, the category of the selected algorithm needs to be further determined. For example, the category can be the real-time algorithm, and the calculation is performed using SaprkStreaming. For another example, the category can be the offline algorithm, the calculation is performed using SparkSQL and the processing result is stored in Hive. After the processing ends, the service subscription manner in the initial setting information is determined, and the data can be pushed in real time through the Kafka or stored in the storage node.

4.3) The ZData maps the preset product model data to the Redis, and the Redis is a key-value storage system. The Redis can determine whether to notify to trigger the rule engine. And if so, the control instruction can be sent to the Zmessage. The Zmessage can preprocess the preset product model data, and match the preset product model data with the preset trigger rules to constitute an event. The trigger operation is executed if the event satisfies the trigger rule.

The ZMessage determines whether a rule node needs to be triggered, if the rule node does not need to be triggered, the ZMessage sends the preset product model data or analyzes the preset product model data and then sends the preset product model data to the Zedege SDK or directly to the device. If the rule node needs to be triggered, the ZMessage continues to determine whether the action node needs to be triggered. If the rule node needs to be triggered, the ZMessage sends the email, calls the remote interface and sends the short message according to the type of the action node, or triggers the trigger parameter of the asset type (i.e., directly sends to the Zedege SDK or the device).

The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a data distribution process configuration method. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a data distribution process configuration method according to an exemplary embodiment, which can be used in the data distribution system shown in FIG. 1. In practice, the users can configure the data distribution process on any electronic device in the data distribution system, or configure the data distribution process by connecting another electronic device to the data distribution system. For convenience of description, in the subsequent embodiments, the electronic device with the display screen that can trigger operation is taken as the executive body to describe various embodiments.

To facilitate understanding of the subsequent embodiments, the channel configuration module Zbridge, the data engine module Zdata, the data processing module Zalgorithm, the rule engine module ZMessage, the external interface module ZOpen, the database and the like shown in FIG. 1 are mapped with the plug-ins shown in the subsequent embodiments respectively, including the following.

The channel configuration module Zbridge corresponds to a message queue plug-in set, a database plug-in set or a filter script plug-in set.

The data engine module Zdata corresponds to the configuration information of the service process, that is, the data transmission, calculation and distribution among various modules or plug-ins are achieved through the configuration information.

The data processing module Zalgorithm corresponds to an algorithm plug-in set and a database plug-in set.

The rule engine module ZMessage corresponds to a filter script plug-in set and a database plug-in set.

The external interface module ZOpen corresponds to a database plug-in set and an external interface.

The database corresponds to a database plug-in set.

It is understandable that each of the above-mentioned modules can be an aggregation of at least one function, and the plug-in tends to perform one function, such that each of the above-mentioned modules can correspond to at least one plug-in. In the subsequent embodiments, the module to which the plug-in belongs can be determined according to the correspondence between plug-ins and modules. In the case where the operation of the data distribution system shown in FIG. 1 is not affected, the variation solutions of dividing each plug-in into each module belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 4, a data distribution process configuration method includes steps 41 to 43.

In step 41, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents creating a service process of a data distribution service, a workbench of the service process is displayed.

In this embodiment, various plug-in sets can be pre-stored in the electronic device, including an initial plug-in set, a channel plug-in set and a processing plug-in set. For each plug-in in the channel plug-in set, the plug-in is between plug-ins in the initial plug-in set and plug-ins in the processing plug-in set, or between two plug-ins in the processing plug-in set. The initial plug-in set includes a data integration plug-in set, the channel plug-in set includes a message queue plug-in set, and the processing plug-in set includes a database plug-in set, a filter script plug-in set, an algorithm plug-in set and a rule engine plug-in set. Of course, an external interface plug-in set can also be included to create a connection between an external device and the database plug-in or the message queue plug-in or the filter script plug-in. The skilled person can select the appropriate plug-in set according to the scenario.

In this embodiment, the data integration plug-in set mainly unifies the hidden underlying data details in the data logic view through the node plug-in of the routing channel type, such that different data sources can be mapped to the node plug-in. Referring to FIG. 5, the underlying data logic configuration (i.e., configured information items) of the node plug-in can be to select a product data source (for example, the asset shown in FIG. 3), and the information of the product data source includes route configuration information, product model definition information and data analysis information, then select the route to which the product data source needs to subscribe and select the state parameter in product model information through data filtering.

Take creating a product (i.e., the data source) as an example, including the following.

In this example, a create-product button is displayed on the display interface of the system. The electronic device can pop up a pop-up box in the display interface in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents creating a product, and the effect is shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 6, the pop-up box includes product-related information, such as a product name, a product category (such as a custom category and a general category), node data (such as a directly connected device, an edge gateway, a gateway sub-device, a third-party device, etc.), an authentication manner, an access protocol, a product description, etc. The contents in the pop-up box can be adjusted according to specific scenarios. The electronic device can further fill in various product information and obtain input data according to the user's trigger operation. When detecting that the user stores the above-mentioned input data, the electronic device can call the API interface to generate new product information and display the newly generated related products in a list, and the effect is shown in FIG. 7.

Taking configuring an access control product as an example, the electronic device can display a configuration page of the access control product in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents configuring the routing information, and the effect is shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. Referring to FIG. 9, the electronic device can obtain the routing information input by the user, such as information configuration of basic routing, communication routing and custom routing. The configuration of the custom routing information is the routing selection after the product information is selected by the data source of the later routing channel plug-in.

Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the electronic device can obtain the product model information input by the user, such as the state parameter, the function parameter, the trigger parameter, and the information configuration of the product model DSL in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents configuring the product model information. That is, the electronic device can detect that the user clicks the add-custom button to pop up the pop-up box, and obtain the relevant information input according to the prompt on the display interface to configure the information defined by the product model, such as the state parameter, the function parameter, the trigger parameter, etc. Information cannot be customizedly added after the product goes online. The configuration of state parameter information defined by the product model is the product state parameter information for which the subsequent routing channel plug-in needs to perform data filtering.

In this embodiment, the database plug-in set executes the operations such as data establishment, storage, update, query, and deletion mainly by one of the MySQL data table plug-in, the TIDB data table plug-in and the HBase data table plug-in, which corresponds to the data storage node or the TiDB database in FIG. 3. The underlying data logic configuration of these node plug-ins can be to select a storage node instance of the data source. The information of the storage node instance includes a database version, IPV4 address information, a port number, an instance name, a database name, a user name, a password and an area where the storage node is located. The data table and table structure information of the data table can be selected by selecting the storage node instance, or the data table and table structure of the data table can be created for the instance by filling in DDL script data.

Taking creating a MySQL storage instance as an example, as shown in FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, an add-node button can be displayed on the display interface of the system. The electronic device can detect whether the user clicks the add-node button, and the electronic device can pop up the pop-up box in the display interface in response to detecting that the user clicks the add-node button. The pop-up box includes connects such as select version, connection information, an instance name, a library name, a user name, a password, an alias and an area. The electronic device can further fill in various product information and obtain input data according to the user's trigger operation. When detecting that the user stores the above-mentioned input data, the electronic device can call the API interface to generate a new storage instance and display the new storage instance in the list. The list is the data source information in the MySQL data table plug-in configuration information. In this way, in this example, the data table information of the storage instance can be obtained by calling the API interface based on filled-in information of the storage instance, and various attribute information of the data table can be obtained based on the data table information. The obtained information is the selected data table and data table structure information in the information configured by the MySQL data table plug-in.

In this embodiment, the message queue plug-in set is mainly used for asynchronous processing, application decoupling and traffic cutting through an MQTT message queue plug-in (corresponding to the MQTT BROKER in FIG. 3), a Kafka message queue plug-in (corresponding to the Apaache Kafka in FIG. 3) and a AMQP message queue plug-in. The underlying data logic of these node plug-ins can be to select a message queue instance of the data source. Information of the message queue instance includes the TCP connection, the WS connection, the user name, the password, the namespace, the area and the topic. The communication protocol TCP connection or WS connection, the topic and its detailed configuration, such as the selection of execution actions, whether to retain messages, whether to delay publishing, message retransmission and whether to group subscribes and other configuration information can be selected by selecting the message queue instance.

Taking creating the MQTT message queue as an example, refer to FIG. 16, FIG. 17, FIG. 18, FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, and an add-instance button can be displayed on the display interface of the system. The electronic device can pop up the pop-up box on the display interface in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents adding the instance. The pop-up box can include the connection information (such as TCP connection, WS connection, user name, password, and namespace), the basic information (such as alias, area, maximum topic number, description content), etc. The contents in the pop-up box can be adjusted according to specific scenarios. The electronic device can fill in various instance contents according to the users trigger operations, and the electronic device can obtain the input data. When detecting that the user stores the input data, the electronic device can call the API interface to generate a new queue instance and display new queue information in the list. The list is the data source information in the MQTT message queue plug-in configuration information.

Continue taking configuring the topic information of the MQTT message queue as an example, and the topic selection information after the data source can be selected in the MQTT message queue plug-in configuration information.

In this embodiment, the filter script plug-in set can include the JS script plug-in, the jar package plug-in, the python script plug-in or the PHP script plug-in, etc., which are used for filtering data to filter out data items required by the users. For example, the user A wants to get 3 items of data in the data, and the user B wants to perform calculation based on 5 items of data in the data, such that the corresponding 3 or 5 items of data can be filtered out in advance through the filter script, so as to better meet the personalized subscription demands of the user A or the user B. Of course, the skilled person can further use the script plug-ins written in other programming languages, and the corresponding solutions falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In this embodiment, the algorithm plug-in set can include an offline algorithm plug-in and a real-time algorithm plug-in, which are used to perform calculation on the data. The offline algorithm plug-in can include but not limited to SparkSQL plug-in, Hive on Spark plug-in, Core plug-in, Streaming plug-in, MLlib plug-in, GraphX plug-in, etc. The real-time algorithm can include but not limited to Flink plug-in, Storm plug-in and Spark Streaming plug-in.

In this embodiment, after configuring various plug-ins, a service process can be created based on the above-mentioned plug-ins. First, a workspace area is created. Referring to FIG. 21, in step 211, the electronic device can display a first pop-up box in a display area in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents creating a workspace. The first pop-up box includes at least one item of contents of a workspace name, an alias, a logo picture or a space description, and the effect is shown in FIG. 22. In step 212, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents inputting any item of content, obtain input data for the item of content. In step 213, the electronic device can save the input data and close the pop-up box in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents saving the input data, so as to obtain the workspace area. For example, the electronic device can display an add-new-workspace-area button in the display interface. When the user clicks the add-new-workspace-area button, a right drawer style pop-up box can pop up. After filling in a workspace name and an alias, uploading a logo picture and inputting a description of the space, the user can click the save button below. The electronic device can call the API interface of saving space information, and after the interface is successfully called, save the relevant information, close the pop-up box, and display the newly added workspace in the workspace area.

For another example, after adding the new workspace area, the content of the workspace area can further be modified. At this time, an edit button for a workspace content that needs to be modified can be displayed in the display interface, and a right drawer style pop-up box can pop up. There are relevant workspace contents in the pop-up box, and the content that needs to be modified can be filled in, then the save button is clicked to call the API interface of modifying the space information. After the interface is successfully called, the relevant information is modified and the pop-up box is closed.

In this embodiment, a new service process can be created in various workspace areas. Referring to FIG. 23, in step 231, the electronic device can display an edit area page of a workspace area in a display area in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents editing the workspace area. The edit area page includes a create-new-service-process button. In step 232, the electronic device can display a create-new-process pop-up box in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents selecting a create-new-service-process button. The create-new-process pop-up box includes a process name and a process description. In step 233, the electronic device can obtain input data of the process name or the process description of the data distribution service in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents filling in the process name or the process description. In step 234, the electronic device can save the input data and close the pop-up box in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents saving the input data, so as to obtain the service process of the data distribution service in the workspace area. It should be noted that the newly added service process is only a name, and the service process has not been configured yet.

For example, the electronic device can display a list of the workspace areas in the display interface. The user can click on a certain workspace that is to be entered, and the display interface can jump to the edit area page of the workbench. Then, the user can click on a title of the service process, and the create-new-service-process button can pop up below the title. If the user clicks on the create-new-service-process button, a create-new-process pop-up box can pop up. The create-new-process pop-up box can include the process name and the process description, and the effect is shown in FIG. 24. At this point, the user can fill in the process name and the process description in the pop-up box, and click an OK button below after filling in. At this time, the electronic device can call the API interface to save the process information, and can display the newly added service process under the service process after closing the pop-up box.

In step 42, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents dragging a node plug-in to the canvas, a plurality of node plug-ins of the service process are obtained.

In this embodiment, the electronic device can obtain the node plug-ins of the service process of the data distribution service. Referring to FIG. 25, in step 251, the electronic device can display the workbench of the service process in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents opening the service process. The workbench includes an area for displaying a plurality of different types of node plug-ins and an area for displaying the canvas. The node plug-ins in the workbench are the node plug-ins preset in step 41, and they are all displayed in the workbench at this time, which is convenient for the user to select. In step 252, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents dragging any one of the node plug-ins, move the dragged node plug-in into the canvas. It is understandable that the node plug-in dragged by the user is the plug-in required by the data distribution service. In step 253, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents saving the node plug-in in the canvas, save the node plug-in in the canvas and close the workbench to obtain a plurality of node plug-ins of the service process.

For example, after creating a new service process, the user can click on the newly-created service process. At this time, the workbench of the service process can be expanded on the right side of the service process queue in the display area, and the effect is shown in FIG. 26. The workbench shown in FIG. 26 includes node plug-ins on the left and a canvas on the right. The node plug-ins can include routing channel nodes of data integration type, JS script nodes, SQL script nodes and Jar script nodes of filter script type, MQTT message queue nodes, Kafka message queue nodes and AMQP message queue nodes of message queue type, MySQL data table nodes. TIDB data table nodes and HBase data table nodes of data table type, offline calculation nodes and real-time calculation nodes of algorithm function type, etc. The user can drag the node plug-in required by the service process into the canvas to generate a basic plug-in.

The user can arbitrarily connect plug-ins in the processing plug-in set in series according to the demands for the data distribution service, so as to achieve the purposes of data acquisition, conversion, filtering, calculation and storage. For example, a start node is selected first, and a plug-in in the channel plug-in set is added after the start node, then a plug-in in the processing plug-in set is added, so as to achieve the data transmission, processing and distribution of the corresponding message queue. If no message queue is added, the system can use the preset or default message queue for data transmission. In specific implementation, after the plug-in in the processing plug-in set, an upper-level service system may be included, such that the data can be queried or displayed in real time through the external interface Zopen API.

After moving one of the node plug-ins into the canvas, the information of the process node plug-in can be configured. Referring to FIG. 27, in step 271, an unconfigured plug-in is generated in the canvas. In step 272, the electronic device can open a tab page of the unconfigured plug-in in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents editing the unconfigured plug-in, such as clicking, double clicking, etc., and the tab page includes the information items that need to be configured for the initial node plug-in. When it is detected that the user clicks on each of the information items, the user can input information in the edit box of each of the information items, and the electronic device can obtain the input information corresponding to each of the information items. In step 273, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents saving the input information of each of the information items, save the input information of each of the information items and close the tab page of each of the information items, so as to obtain a plurality of node plug-ins of the service process.

Taking configuring a routing channel node plug-in as an example, the user can double-click the routing channel node plug-in in the canvas, and at this time, a tab page can be generated on the process workbench. The tab page includes process node name, brief introduction, data source information, data filtering, etc. The user can first fill in the node name and the brief introduction in the basic information, select the data source information, and then select the associated routing information after selecting the data source information. Then, the selection of the data filtering is performed, an “add a line” button below is clicked to pop up a pop-up box. There is data source list information which can be selected in the pop-up box. The required data source information is selected and the OK button is clicked to generate the filtered data source list information. Finally, the button for saving the plug-in is clicked, and the electronic device can call the API interface for saving the routing channel node plug-in, so as to save the information configured by the routing channel node. After the save is successful, the tab page is closed and a complete service process node is displayed on the canvas.

Taking configuring the Jar script node information as an example, the electronic device can display the tab page of the MySQL data table according to the user's trigger operation, and the effect is shown in FIG. 28. As shown in FIG. 28, the tab page includes: process node type, process node name, brief introduction, data source, selection data table, data table structure, etc. The user can first fill in the node name and the brief introduction in the basic information, then click an upload-file button below to select the required jar script file to upload. After calling the API interface to upload the file successfully, the electronic device can return a file download address and automatically fill it into a plug-in address information input box. Finally, after detecting that the user clicks the button for saving plug-in, the electronic device can call the API interface of saving plug-in to save the information configured by the Jar script node. After the save is successful, the tab page is closed and a complete service process node is displayed on the canvas.

Taking configuring the MQTT message queue node information as an example, the electronic device can display the tab page of the MySQL data table according to the user's trigger operation, and the effect is shown in FIG. 16. The tab page includes process node type, process node name, brief introduction, data source, communication protocol (such as TCP and WebSocket), topic, execution action, whether to retain message, whether to delay publishing, message retransmission (such as the message is sent at most once, the messages is sent at least once, and the message is delivered only once), whether to enable group subscription, etc. The node name and the brief introduction in the basic information can be filled in first. Then, the data source information is selected, which includes that the communication protocol type is selected and the topic type is selected. Then, the execution action is selected, whether to retain message is determined, whether to delay publishing is determined, how many seconds to delay is determined if delay publishing, the times of the message retransmission are selected, and whether to enable group subscription is determined. Finally, after detecting that the user clicks the button for saving plug-in, the electronic device can call the API interface of saving plug-in to save the information configured by the MQTT message queue node. After the save is successful, the tab page is closed and a complete service process node is displayed on the canvas.

In step 43, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents connecting the node plug-ins, configuration information of the service process is obtained, where the configuration information represents a data distribution process from a data source end to a data receiving end.

In this embodiment, after selecting and configuring each of the node plug-ins, each of the node plug-ins can be connected to obtain a service process. Referring to FIG. 29, in step 291, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents connecting two node plug-ins, connect the two node plug-ins with a logic relationship. In step 292, the electronic device can, in response to detecting a trigger operation that represents submitting node plug-in relationship, call respective API interfaces corresponding to the node plug-ins, so as to obtain the configuration information of the service process. It is understandable that, at this time, the service processes in the workspace area constitute a channel for process transmission, calculation, filtering and distribution from the data source end to the data receiving end.

It should be noted that in the embodiment, the service process relationship diagram starts from the process start node. The process start node must first connect to at least one node plug-in. In addition, a node plug-in can be connected to a plurality of other nodes, and a plurality of other different nodes can also be connected to the node plug-in. However, the connection loopback between two nodes is not supported in the embodiment. For example, after the node plug-in A is connected to the node plug-in B, the node plug-in B cannot be connected back to the node plug-in A. At the same time, the connection between the two node plug-ins cannot be repeated to create a relationship. In this way, after connecting the service process relationships that need to be created with lines in the above manner, a submit button is clicked finally. At this time, the electronic device can call respective API interfaces related to various node plug-ins to save service process relationship information, and a service process is successfully created after the interface is successfully called. The effect is shown in FIG. 30.

It is understandable that during the connection process, the electronic device can further determine whether two nodes satisfy the following conditions: the channel node is between the initial plug-in set and the processing plug-in set, or between two plug-ins in the processing plug-in set. The connection is allowed only when the conditions are satisfied, otherwise, the connection cannot be completed.

It is understandable that the service process of the data distribution service can be a transmission channel of the data from the asset to the TIDB database, a transmission channel of the data from the asset to the data storage node or Apaache Kafka, and a transmission channel of the data from the asset to Zmessage, SDK, asset, mail, short message, etc. as shown in FIG. 3.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a service process of data distribution service can be created. And the node plug-in required by the data distribution service are selected in the acquired workbench of the service process and moved into the canvas, so as to obtain a plurality of node plug-ins of the service process. Then, the configuration information of the service process is obtained by connecting each of the plug-ins. In this way, in the embodiment, the service process can be created according to the data distribution service. That is, the device data of the data source end can be synchronized to various different receiving ends through the API interfaces according to the configuration information of the service process, and the rule setting can be completed without the user focusing on the specific implementation logic. In addition, in the embodiment, the service separation can be performed on the data source end and the data receiving end, and the data receiving thread can be elastically stretched and multi-service processes can be concurrently modified, which is beneficial to fully use the resources of the server and improve the performance of the server for data distribution.

On the basis of the data distribution system shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a data distribution method. FIG. 31 is a flowchart of a data distribution method according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to FIG. 31, the data distribution method includes:

in step 311, the device data reported by the external device is obtained;

storing or pushing the processing result.

In an embodiment, distributing the preset product model data obtained from the message queue includes:

pushing the preset product model data to a key value storage system, such that the key value storage system determines whether the preset product model data needs to trigger a rule engine;

in response to need to trigger the rule engine, determining whether a node corresponding to the preset product model data needs to be triggered;

if the trigger is needed, sending a preset type of trigger information to the node; and if the trigger is not needed, sending the preset product model data to the external device.

In an embodiment, distributing the preset product model data obtained from the message queue includes:

storing the preset product model data into a preset database based on a preset strategy, such that an external service system obtains the preset product model data through the preset database.

In an embodiment, obtaining the device data reported by the external device includes:

obtaining a preset data protocol;

if the device data satisfies the preset data protocol, storing the device data into a first message queue; if the device data does not satisfy the data protocol, obtaining device data which satisfies the preset data protocol by performing protocol conversion through SDK and storing the device data in the first message queue.

It can be understood that the methods provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure correspond to the above-mentioned data distribution systems, and for the specific contents, reference can be made to the contents of various embodiments of the platform, and details will not be repeated here.
